TORONTO — Premier Doug Ford teased good news on steps toward reopening for retail stores, parks, cottagers and people missing loved ones Monday, as long as the province’s COVID-19 numbers keep going down.
Ontario reported 370 new cases of COVID-19 Monday, bringing the provincial total 2.1 per cent higher than the previous day, part of a downward trend.
There were also 84 more deaths reported. Ontario has now seen 17,923 cases, including 1,300 deaths and 12,505 resolved cases — nearly 70 per cent of all of Ontario’s cases.
Hospitalizations, another key indicator, dropped, as did the number of people with COVID-19 in intensive care, while the number of patients on ventilators remained relatively stable.
